a lyric just born



The wind reminds that tomorrow
Has not been written, it is the pause
At the end of the present breath, the wind
Carries on a journey, like droplets
lifted from the sea, water flowers and raise worms
near dawn and unto a silent Robin …
At dusk beneath the old pin oak,
I heard an unfamiliar call
Looked up to see an old red breast had a new song.

In the heart of evening, the power of the day
Formed thick cloud and I waited
For the winds to bring the change
To thunder and storm… I waited
Knowing the passion of rising clouds.
The windless stillness reminds that tomorrow
Has not been written, it is the pause
In a lyric just born, for the song
Of a new day; when the voice rises like warming sun
A new song of the spirit, new pieces
to fit a mosaic of time

As if we were needed for the Sun
To warm the earth…such imaginings
Borne on winds of wonder
Like the butterfly, we rise with moving air
travel where it will and taste the sweetness
Of many flowers—it is a world seemingly made for
fragile wings and ceaseless hungers, and the winds
leave pathways of scented honey.
